Prime Minister Stephen Harper and U.S. President Barrack Obama have apparently agreed that Canada should join the Asia-Pacific trade talks.
So far the countries negotiating that agreement have kept Canada out because our politicians have pledged support for supply management for our dairy and poultry farmers.
I wonder whether Canada's politicians may be having second thoughts, given the revelations that have been emerging from the egg-industry lawsuits. And the chicken industry issues in New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario.
In any case, this most certainly involves potential oil exports to Asia, and a controversy-plagued supply management system could simply end up as broken eggs. Or cracks in the packs.
